Chapter 49 Vomiting Blood
Feeling the murderous intent emanating from the manager, Song Yanxi silently memorized his appearance.
There were many people watching, and although some were afraid, most were angry.
"You dare to threaten me in broad daylight? Come on, kill me if you have the guts!" A man rushed out.
The manager had a cold face and was about to speak when someone rushed forward to stop him.
Song Yanxi vaguely heard him say words like "don't do bad things" and "at night".
After a moment, the manager looked deeply at the person who spoke, then turned to apologize to Song Yanxi.
Then he raised his hand, and someone immediately opened a box and took out a stack of silver notes with a face value of one thousand.
The steward counted out thirty-two bills and handed them to Song Yanxi, saying, "This is thirty-two thousand taels. Madam, please count them. The extra amount will be considered as my boss treating you to tea."
Zhuzhi took them and said as he counted them: "My daughter's hands are precious, they are not meant to touch these rusty things."
The steward's face suddenly turned ugly.
But Zhuzhi was counting money himself. No matter how you look at it, these words were not just meant to belittle him, but simply to protect his master.
Even if he wanted to make trouble, he couldn't find a reason.
Zhuzhi was slow at counting money to begin with, and he deliberately slowed down his movements. Sometimes one bill came out too many, and sometimes one accidentally dropped out.
There were only thirty silver bills, but she counted them out as if there were three thousand.
"This is the fifth time. Have you counted enough, girl?" More and more people gathered around, and the manager's face was as black as the black boots on his feet.
Zhuzhi frowned, her face full of displeasure, "I'm counting our own money for my daughter, do you still have any objections?"
"Zhuzhi, that's enough." Song Yanxi stopped him.
After hearing this, the people who had been watching the money counting for a long time and had lost interest felt that Song Yanxi was really kind, and that everyone in the general's mansion was a piece of shit.
And there's that Princess Shihan, who not only shamelessly stole someone else's husband, but now she's openly carrying her "dowry" to the general's mansion.
They are singing the same tune with Old Madam Lin at the gate. Isn't this obviously an attempt to humiliate the general's wife?
You only have a few bucks, and you think you’re so great!
"This person seems to be from Shu Manor. Could it be..."
Once someone starts a conversation, others will use their imagination without having to continue.
People who have been to Shuzhuang think of the unique taste and Zhuang Shihan's unique style of doing things, and suddenly feel that even the best food is not delicious.
Some people who had been there yesterday hurriedly apologized to the people next to them and promised not to set foot in Shuzhuang again.
They care more about their face than their appetite.
"Duke Jingguo is a great hero, how could he have such a domineering daughter?" The person who spoke took the opportunity to direct the attention towards Duke Jingguo.
Song Yanxi frowned when she heard this, and caught a glimpse of Zhuzhi shaking his head at her, indicating that this was not the person she was looking for.
She had never even seen the man who had just started the trouble and called someone Zhuang Shihan's dog.
Looking at the man's indignant face, Song Yanxi suddenly thought of something.
Duke Jingguo shed blood and sweat for Da'an when he was young. He is the most respected military general by the emperor after Old Man Yan.
He was busy protecting his country in his early years. He didn't get married until he was in his thirties, and he didn't have a daughter until he was forty.
The people respected him, so they were even more worried that his lifelong reputation would be ruined because of his daughter's improper behavior.
"How can you bully me like this! Come on, everyone, follow me to the Censorate!"
"The princess is amazing. She's so arrogant even though she stole someone else's husband. She's really embarrassing for Duke Jingguo."
"Let's go to the Censorate together!"
The manager rushed down the stairs, grabbed the man's collar, and said gloomily, "How dare you."
The man had no doubt that if he said another word, this man would break his neck.
Song Yanxi took two steps down the stairs and asked coldly, "Are you planning to kill someone in the street?"
Without waiting for his answer, she continued, "Even if you don't want to live, you should at least think about your employer and stop smearing her."
Every word seems to be for Zhuang Shihan's sake, but in fact it is a reminder to the people that the person in front of them is Zhuang Shihan's person.
Without the master's order, how dare a servant act on his own?
The crowd became even angrier and shouted angrily, "Go to the Censorate!" and a group of people walked towards the Censorate in a mighty manner.
The manager quickly let go of his hand and explained that what he had done had nothing to do with Zhuang Shihan.
After sighing about his loyalty, Song Yanxi looked at Zhuzhi and said calmly, "Let's go back first."
"Stop right there!" Old Madam Lin looked at the crowd that was leaving, rushed to her, raised her hand and was about to slap her.
Song Yanxi grabbed her wrist.
"ah--"
Old Madam Lin screamed and her face turned purple.
She glared at Song Yanxi and asked, "Did you invite all those people here just now?"
Song Yanxi sneered, "Mother-in-law, what you mean is that I should spend money to hire someone to laugh at my own joke?"
"You!" Old Madam Lin was speechless for a moment.
Zhuzhi was so angry that she said, "If it weren't for the old lady's aggressive attitude today, Madam would not have mentioned it."
So, the fault lies with her?
No, she would never admit it!
Madam Lin gasped, broke free from Song Yanxi's hand, and said viciously, "I'll deal with you later!"
As she spoke, she quickly looked at Zhou and scolded, "Hurry up and help carry the things in!"
If something goes wrong later, won’t the fat meat in your mouth fly away?
Seeing Madam Lin's greedy face, the steward hurriedly bowed to her and said politely, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I'll trouble you to keep an eye on the moving."
Seeing him turn around and leave without waiting for a reply, the old lady's face showed more disgust, "After all, you are from a merchant family and don't know the rules."
Thinking of the thirty thousand taels she had just given out, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but feel pained. She turned around and wanted to say something, but there was no sign of Song Yanxi in front of her.
She was so angry that she almost vomited blood, and cursed in a low voice: "This Song family, do you really think that the money from my general's mansion is easy to take? Sooner or later, she will spit out the principal and interest!"
As she was speaking, an old woman came running out in a hurry, yelling, "Old Madam, something bad has happened!"
When she got close, Madam Lin raised her hand and slapped her hard, not even listening to what she said. She cursed, "You two are looking for trouble. If you don't tell me something terrible today, I'll skin you alive and chop you into pieces and feed them to the dogs!"
The old woman was beaten so hard that her mouth was bleeding. She covered her face and could not speak clearly, "General... General..."
When Mrs. Lin heard that her son was in trouble, she felt a black screen before her eyes. She quickly grabbed her arm and asked, "What's wrong with Feng'er? I'm asking you, what's wrong with Feng!"
"The general, he vomited blood!"
